May Gibbs honoured in the State Library’s Discover Collection series

The State Library of NSW website has included the work of May Gibbs in its Discover Collection series.

Titled “May Gibbs: an Australian classic,” this excellent landing page provides an accessible way for those new to May Gibbs and her published works to gain an understanding of her as an Australian author and artist.

For those already familiar with May’s life and her more well known work, the collection provides some terrific examples of May’s botanical illustrations, art college work and early commercial pieces.

And for those interested in researching May further, the collection even features digitised illustrations contained in library’s catalogue.
